DiveController Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) I don't have much interest (yet) in US outline but I know many on the site do, so I took 5 minutes to stop off on the commute today to shoot some ad hoc video of BNSF locos that occasionally make me 15 minutes late for work if I hit the wrong R/R crossing! Shot on the spur of the moment in adverse lighting (into bright sunlight) with an iPhone so sorry about the video quality Blooper, so look like I can't upload the video from the Mac directly, so all I can give you is this Edited December 20, 2015 by DiveController Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Hi Kevin. Interesting. I saw BNSF 3440 a few weeks ago. Black and Tan livery. Managed to get very close to it. Might hook it up with some B&T CIE coaches for a 'knock' special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not your usual flavor of Black'n'Tan for sure I think this B-B switcher (SW1500) is still current, photos of her up to two years ago but mainly in the US Midwest http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/locopicture.aspx?id=15663 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I remember seeing years ago, long before Worsley Works, Bachmann or Murphy Models came on the scene, seeing a model of a beast like that painted in CIE livery to resemble a 121. You'd be surprised how realistic it looked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveController Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 How does that run, Noel? I think the SW1500 is a recommended donor chassis for the MIR 121 kit, iirc. As a connoisseur of centre drive double flywheel motors, would value your opinion on that or a video if possible? K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
